The connecting structure 5 is provided with four groups, the flip panel 2 is an irregular quadrilateral plate body close to a rectangle, and the four groups of connecting structures 5 are located at positions close to the middle of the four edges of the flip panel 2.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the shell 1 is a box body provided with an opening on the side close to the flip panel 2, the side of the shell 1 close to the flip panel 2 is provided with a limiting structure for limiting the rotation angle of the flip panel 2, the limiting structure includes a first limiting column 61 and a second limiting column 62 integrally formed on the shell 1, the first limiting column 61 and the second limiting column 62 are protruding structures protruding towards the side of the flip panel 2, and the first limiting column 61 and the second limiting column 62 are located on the opposite two side walls of the shell 1. The height of the first limiting column 61 is higher than the height of the second limiting column 62, so that a first gap 7 is formed between the second limiting column 62 and the flip panel 2, and the side of the flip panel 2 close to the shell 1 abuts against the first limiting column 61. Two key function areas 21 operable by a user are formed on the side of the flip panel 2 close to the second limiting column 62, and the second limiting column 62 is located between the two key function areas 21.
